So your saying that over 600 of the 799k between MAN-DXB are O&D passengers then!
Im not saying anything Jamie, the info has come from the UAE itself. It didnt say 2nd highest in UK, it was talking about worldwide as New York, Manilla and Paris were all mentioned, to which the last time I checked, were not in the UK.
Plenty of articles on the interweb, so if you take exception to the stats, talk to Emirates if you feel they are wrong.
